Biography
Humphrey was the son of Humphrey de Bohun, 2nd Earl of Hereford and Eleanor de Braose, and he was born in 1242. He succeeded his father in 1275, and he spent most of his early reign reconquering Marcher lands captured by Llywelyn ap Gruffudd during the Welsh war in England. He took part in King Edward I of England's wars in Wales in 1277, 1282-83, and 1294-95, and he also engaged in rivalries with other marcher lords, including Gilbert de Clare, 7th Earl of Gloucester. In his final years, De Bohun and Roger Bigod, 5th Earl of Norfolk opposed Edward I's fiscal and military policy. The conflict might have erupted into civil war had war not broken out with Scotland, and De Bohun fought at the Battle of Falkirk in 1298. He died that same year, and he was succeeded by his son Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford.
